Jasper made an excellent point that shines a spot light on conservative hypocrisy.

Conservatives want women to be responsible for their sex lives and then set up barriers to prevent them controlling their sex lives.

Here's another one.....

Conservatives say they want to repeal Obamacare but then want to sue Obama for not implementing Obamacare fast enough.

Nice rant, carry that message to the polls also telling the people that conservatives want to starve kids, kill seniors, and destroy the atmosphere. How long do you think you can perpetuate these lies.

Women have access to healthcare and nothing in this ruling changes that. Women have access to free birth control pills from Planned Parenthood and nothing is going to change that. Keep spouting the lies and distortions which appeal to the low information voters most of whom still believe Obama rhetoric. Your problem is you aren't dealing with low information voters when you post to conservatives. We tried to tell you about Obama and you ignored it, still ignoring it. Says a lot about liberals.

No, it POTENTIALLY allows for it. And before you pull the bull**** "read the rulings", I have. The verdict is specific to this case. While it's POSSIBLE that it could be used at a future time for other issues, it is not a certainty or a guarantee and presenting it as FACT is simply incorrect.

A Supreme Court opinion is ALWAYS specific to the case it is addressing. You have to understand how to read the "holding" of the case and understand the ramifications of the decision. This is what jurisprudence is all about and how our court system operates. It would be incredibly naive to believe that this ruling is limited to Hobby Lobby. That isn't the way the Supreme Court operates.

why would they suddenly change and say no to ALL contraception coverage?

It isn't a false narrative at all. The conservative lobby was greatly anticipating this ruling and will push the ruling as far as they can. (The left would do the same if the pages were turned....thats how our system operates. I'm not faulting the system...just indicating what the ramifications will be).
Don't think for a second that you aren't going to see boundaries pushed as a result of this. It would probably be the first time in the history of this country if they weren't.

LOL....we don't have to "keep perpetuating these lies" because the Conservative Lobby and Republican platform are clear for everyone to see. Have you read the recent wacko extremist Texas Republican platform? Yow!!!! It makes the national Republican platform look moderate.

Why is it you have been a wage slave all your life and never gone into business for yourself so you can help rectify all the problems you see with business? It is easier spending someone else's money, isn't it. Bet you don't do well when someone dictates to you what you can or cannot do with your own money. Seems like a rather simple concept, conservatives don't really care how much you make, how much you pay in taxes, how much you pay employees so why do you? Personal responsibility is a foreign concept to you so why would anyone take a job that doesn't provide them with the benefits you think you deserve or want.

it isn't just limited to hobby lobby but it all closely held corporations. it does however only affect contraception.
Majority opinion written by Alito
"This decision concerns only the contraceptive mandate and should not be understood to mean that all insurance mandates, that is for blood transfusions or vaccinations, necessarily fail if they conflict with an employer's religious beliefs."

women still have access to BC and will still be covered under BC. SCOTUS just said that closely held companies do not have to offer all possible BC.
if they still want those then they can still buy them.

the liberal lobby is pushing this as a complete disaster for women's health care in this country and are being misleading about what the ruling means.
